Successful test results of the translational component with linear motors
Design demonstrates potential for simplified dual-direction beam scanning
Offers solutions to problems faced by 45-degree scanners
Abstract
A new type of 'two-in-one' wire scanner is proposed. Recent advances in linear motors' technology make it possible to combine translational and rotational movements. This will allow to scan the beam in two perpendicular directions using a single driving motor and a special fork attached to it. Vertical or horizontal mounting will help to escape problems associated with the 45 deg scanners. Test results of the translational part with linear motors is presented.
